Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Atrial Tissue Fibrosis Identified by Delayed Enhancement MRI and Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation The DECAAF Study
Nassir F. Marrouche,David J. Wilber,Gerhard Hindricks,Pierre Jaïs,Nazem Akoum,Francis E. Marchlinski,Eugene G. Kholmovski,Nathan S. Burgon,Nan Hu,Lluís Mont,Thomas Deneke,Mattias Duytschaever,Thomas Neumann,Moussa Mansour,Christian Mahnkopf,Bengt Herweg,Emile G. Daoud,Erik Wissner,Paul M. Bansmann,Johannes Brachmann +19 more
TL;DR: Among patients with AF undergoing catheter ablation, atrial tissue fibrosis estimated by delayed enhancement MRI was independently associated with likelihood of recurrent arrhythmia and the clinical implications of this association warrant further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Results of Catheter Ablation in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Lessons From a 5-Year Follow-Up
Feifan Ouyang,Roland Tilz,Julian Chun,Boris Schmidt,Erik Wissner,Thomas Zerm,Kars Neven,Bülent Köktürk,Melanie Konstantinidou,Andreas Metzner,Alexander Fuernkranz,Karl-Heinz Kuck +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, a 3-dimensional mapping and double Lasso technique was used to isolate the Pulmonary vein (PV) for the treatment of drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catheter ablation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: 5-year outcomes of the Hamburg Sequential Ablation Strategy.
Roland Richard Tilz,Andreas Rillig,Anna-Maria Thum,Anita Arya,Peter Wohlmuth,Andreas Metzner,Shibu Mathew,Yasuhiro Yoshiga,Erik Wissner,Karl-Heinz Kuck,Feifan Ouyang +10 more
TL;DR: During 5-year follow-up, single- and multiple ablation procedure success was 20% and 45%, respectively, for patients with LS-AF, and For patients with a total AF duration of <2 years, the outcomes were favorable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical reconnection after pulmonary vein isolation is contingent on contact force during initial treatment: results from the EFFICAS I study.
Petr Neuzil,Vivek Y. Reddy,Josef Kautzner,Jan Petru,Dan Wichterle,Dipen Shah,Hendrik Lambert,Aude Yulzari,Erik Wissner,Karl-Heinz Kuck +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a radiofrequency ablation catheter with integrated contact force (CF) sensor was used to perform pulmonary vein isolation in 46 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI
EFFICAS II: optimization of catheter contact force improves outcome of pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Josef Kautzner,Petr Neuzil,Hendrik Lambert,Petr Peichl,Jan Petru,Robert Cihak,Jan Skoda,Dan Wichterle,Erik Wissner,Aude Yulzari,Karl-Heinz Kuck +10 more
TL;DR: The use of CF with the above guidelines and contiguous deployment of RF lesions in EFFICAS II study resulted in more durable PVI in catheter ablation of PAF.
